    Abstract Environmental toxicants and pollutants are causes of adverse health consequences, including well-established associations between environmental exposures and cardiovascular diseases. Environmental degradation is widely prevalent and has a long latency period between exposure and health outcome, potentially placing a large number of individuals at risk of these health consequences. Emerging evidence suggests that environmental exposures in early life may be key risk factors for cardiovascular conditions across the life span. Children are a particularly sensitive population for the detrimental effects of environmental toxicants and pollutants given the long-term cumulative effects of early-life exposures on health outcomes, including congenital heart disease, acquired cardiac diseases, and accumulation of cardiovascular disease risk factors. This scientific statement highlights representative examples for each of these cardiovascular disease subtypes and their determinants, focusing specifically on the associations between climate change and congenital heart disease, airborne particulate matter and Kawasaki disease, blood lead levels and blood pressure, and endocrine-disrupting chemicals with cardiometabolic risk factors. Because children are particularly dependent on their caregivers to address their health concerns, this scientific statement highlights the need for clinicians, research scientists, and policymakers to focus more on the linkages of environmental exposures with cardiovascular conditions in children and adolescents.

    Abstract Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate the hepatotoxicity of statins, as determined by serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), in children and adolescents with dyslipidemia in real-world clinical practice.
    Study design: Clinical and laboratory data were prospectively collected between September 2010 and March 2014. We compared ALT levels between patients prescribed versus not prescribed 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl-coenzyme A reductase inhibitors (statins), and then compared ALT before and after initiation of statins.
    Results: Over the 3.5-year observation period, there were 2704 ALT measurements among 943 patients. The mean age was 14 years; 54% were boys, 47% obese, and 208 patients were treated with statins. Median follow-up after first ALT was 18 months. The mean (SD) ALT in statin and non-statin users was 23 (20) U/L and 28 (28) U/L, respectively. In models adjusted for age, sex, and race, ALT was 2.1 U/L (95% CI 0.1 to 4.4; P = 0.04) lower among statin users, which was attenuated after adjustment for weight category. Patients started on statins during the observation period did not demonstrate an increase in ALT over time (ALT 0.9 U/L [95% confidence interval -5.2 to 3.4] increase per year; P = 0.7).
    Conclusions: In our study population, we did not observe a higher burden of ALT elevations among pediatric patients on statins as compared to those with dyslipidemia who are not on statins, supporting the hepatic safety of statin use in childhood.

    Abstract Objectives: To describe muscle-related statin adverse effects in real-world pediatric practice.
    Study design: Using prospectively collected quality improvement data from a pediatric preventive cardiology practice, we compared serum creatine kinase (CK) levels among patients prescribed and not prescribed statins, and pre-/poststatin initiation. Multivariable mixed-effect models were constructed accounting for repeated measures, examining the effect of statins on log-transformed CK (lnCK) levels adjusted for age, sex, weight, season, insurance type, and race/ethnicity.
    Results: Among 1501 patients seen over 3.5 years, 474 patients (14?±?4 years, 47% female) had at least 1 serum CK measured. Median (IQR) CK levels of patients prescribed (n?=?188 patients, 768 CK measurements) and not prescribed statins (n?=?351 patients, 682 CK measurements) were 107 (83) IU/L and 113 (81) IU/L, respectively. In multivariable-adjusted models, lnCK levels did not differ based on statin use (??=?0.02 [SE 0.05], P?=?.7). Among patients started on statins (n?=?86, 130 prestatin and 292 poststatin CK measurements), median CK levels did not differ in adjusted models (? for statin use on lnCK?=?.08 [SE .07], P?=?.2). There was a clinically insignificant increase in CK over time (??=?.08 [SE .04], P?=?.04 per year). No muscle symptoms or rhabdomyolysis were reported among patients with high CK levels.
    Conclusions: In a real-world practice, pediatric patients using statins did not experience higher CK levels, nor was there a meaningful CK increase with statin initiation. These data suggest the limited utility to checking CK in the absence of symptoms, supporting current guidelines.
